    As you guys mentioned, sadly it was from 2004 ... I still found the whole backstory incredibly interesting though!

    Indeed, it certainly puts into contrast where we have come in the past few decades.

    I have this queued up for tonight, preferably with a good glass of wine. Those of you that post these documentaries, please keep them coming! I thrive on this stuff. :)

    It's not really a documentary, but check out the YouTube channel "playvalue" they have a series called Play Value with a lot of episodes dedicated to video game history. You could probably find a lot better documentaries out there but they're fun to watch.

    I uploaded it there 8 years ago ;) If you look on the forum under other shows, I'm the person who made the computer shows thread at the top and got it stickied. Unfortunately, my original account lapsed, so I can't update it any more.

    Yeah, it's probably online. It's certainly on iPlayer. You should get a VPN and use iPlayer, mate ;)

    Seen it a few years back and it's really good. Are there other documentaries about games worth watching?
